“David sat in the teacher’s lounge. Two other shlemiels sat on the other side, getting coffee. Sports, movies, conversation. He would have to join the group.
The new assistant principal was to join them this afternoon. Just say hello. He got up and got coffee.

The thin woman reached out her hand and David shook it. “My,� she said, “such a warm hand.�
“But a cold heart,â€� he said.”
